Dear Parrots magazine,
Breeding parakeets
Perhaps I am a bit out of the box being 37 years old and someone who hates modern day technology. I do have a smart phone, but use it only on rare occasions when needing a phone and don’t want arthritic thumbs when I get older!
So, I am tending to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather who was a keen keeper of parakeets, he was an enthusiast of Port Lincolns if I remember, although he died when I was just seventeen. The reason for writing in is to ask if we can have more articles on breeding parakeets and their management. At present I have just one pair of Barabands and would like to explore other species.
